The mother of Stephen Lawrence has called one of her son's killers a coward after he refused to show his face at a parole hearing or name his accomplices to the murder.

David Norris, 49, who was convicted in 2011, was speaking publicly for the first time at the hearing. He said he was deeply sorry for the attack in which he punched Lawrence on the back of his head while he was crouched on the ground.
